You can always pick the start of spring in Freo. On the first sunny weekend the alfresco tables along the western side of the Cappuccino Strip are full to bursting - everyone's looking for a little patch of sunshine after a cold, wet winter.
The change of season heralds the start of the festival season. The fully curated Fremantle Festival is on from 27 October to 5 November. Music, comedy, performance, visual arts and talks are all in the mix of free events and ticketed offerings.
We've included our pick of spring events in the pull-out calendar but it's worth checking our website to find out more.
Another way into spring fever is to drag that bike out of the shed and take the perfect Freo cycle from South Beach to Leighton (page 6). It's an easy, flat ride form beach to beach (about 7 km), with added texture courtesy of street art, river back streets and port.
See you in the sunshine.

Fremantle in summer–it’s where memories are made!
Maybe it’s during a family day out, paddling the tunnels beneath the Fremantle Prison or splashing about at Bathers Beach. Perhaps it’s when canvassing the ice cream options around town, trying to choose between a gelato sandwich and a muffle.
It could be at cocktail hour, wandering between small bars discovering your new favourite tipple. Or at that perfect moment during one of the many summer festivals, when the heady effects of sunshine, music and smiling crowds seep into your fondest memories.
Or it might be when you learn just how many Freo businesses welcome not just you, but also your pooch.
And when it dawns on you just how much is on offer during summer in Fremantle, we’ve got some suggestions for that, too. Staycation, anyone?
Happy memory-making.
